Friday Fill-ins

Here's another edition of Friday Fill-Ins! Click here to join in or read other bloggers' answers.

1. You know you're old when you work alongside "kids" you taught 15-20 years before, who still call you Mrs. A. instead of your first name.

2. My heart is divided between staying and going.

3. A signis what I need RIGHT NOW!

4. I have felt the pain and guilt; I have known the depths of despair and loss.

5. Gah, won't these people go away!

6. Call as soon as you can!

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to making a decision and sleeping, tomorrow my plans include making a decision without feeling guilty or having second thoughts, and Sunday, I want to carry out my decision and feel confident in it!

It feels like I'm talking "in code." For those that don't know, I'm having a hard time deciding whether to stick with things here in my "roommate-like" situation with my husband, or strike out on my own, and my children are depending on me to make the right choice.

Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.-- Rainer Maria Rilkebest wishes!

Those kinds of decisions are never easy to make. Sometimes you just have to decide and then move ahead with faith that everything will work out well. And it usually does. Stop second-guessing yourself and do what seems best. Sometimes it takes weeks, months, or even years to know that you did the best thing possible given the circumstances. (((((Hugs)))))
